''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11151311/1/Fall-Back-1940 Fall Back - 1940]]'' is an [[AlternateUniverse AU]] ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fanfic by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6435796/LeighaGreene Leigha Greene]].

After [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets the events of her second year]], Hermione suspects Tom Riddle's diary was more than a simple memory. At the start of [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban her third year]], she gets a Time Turner so she can take every class on offer. She gets into a fight with two Ravenclaws, and the next thing she knows she's in 1940, in Wool's Orphanage, next to a fourteen-year-old Tom Riddle. Hermione enrolls at Hogwarts, pretending to be an American transfer student, and sets out to stop Tom becoming Voldemort. She soon finds she might have bitten off more than she can chew.

!Contains examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Bella's parents beat her hard enough and often enough to leave scars.
* BloodBrothers: Tom and Hermione go through a ritual to make them blood-siblings.
* CreepyChild: All three main characters to a greater or lesser degree.
** Tom. He terrorises the other orphans, sneaks out at night to kidnap random strangers and cut them up to see how they work, and carves designs into Hermione's back with a scalpel.
** Hermione is remarkably calm about the aforementioned designs and reads books on Dark magic.
** Bellatrix wants Tom to carve designs into her back.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: Tom cuts people and animals up. Bellatrix wants him to cut ''her'' up.
